Nautilus internals - by Alex Larsson (NEW!)
Nautilus is the official file manager and desktop shell for the GNOME desktop. This paper will give an overview of the design and implementation of Nautilus and some parts of the GNOME platform that it relies on. I will also give concrete pointers to interesting parts of the sources for developers who wish to hack on Nautilus, or just learn more about it. This paper requires a basic understanding of how Nautilus works from the user side, and basic knowledge of GNOME programming.
